Check And Mark Bad HD Sectors
Oct 30, 2009
Loaded Ubuntu 9.10 last night and on first boot it tells me my HD have bad sectors. Which is nice, good reporting from the new Ubuntu edition.
So I kicked off "badblocks -f -v -s /dev/sda" this morning before I took off to work using SystemRescue CD. Came home during lunch and it is still running, looks like it is going to take forever.
This is a 500GB HD, I don't intend to buy a new one. I just want all the bad sectors marked so OS don't ever use them again. Is there a better utility than *nix badblocks?

My worst experience is with Ultimahosts - the ultimate non professional behaviour. Today I have woken up to see my account suspended and without any notice or reminder!
reason: Your account has been terminated following the 1 year expiry the plan. This is the final notification.
Where is my reminder that my account is near expiry? When asked no answer has been recieved till now and that's why I am hoping to get some answer from Mr Mark here along with an opinion of experts and users of this forum...

I would like to know how to check load via ssh and check files causing load?
I want the ssh codes for 2 different set of control panels, one with cpanel+whm and other with kloxo+hypervm
and I would also know how to check the files causing the load, such as some files could have been interrupted while processing, so they could be causing load some times, so I want to stop such processes if any are running on the vps on my friends accounts

A year ago I started up a website for me and some friends. By the end of last year ( December ) the website had died and I knew that I ( being a broke college student ) wouldn't have the funds to pay for a renewal.
I contacted Kazix and told them I was having trouble figuring out how to cancel my account and asked if they could do it for me or inform me how. I received the following email on Dec 18th 2007:
"Sir,
As soon as the hosting is about to end. You will get notice from our billing department.
-- Regards, Mark Senior Administrator fatnetwork.net/"
I figured this email would tell me how to cancel my account if I did not wish to renew it. I never received such an email.
I found out Friday that my banking account was over-drawn. I thought this was through my own error, but when I looked closely today, I noticed it was because 2co.com, the third-party billing company used by Kazix/Fatnetwork, had charged me for hosting renewal and had caused my account to go negative.
I sent them an email informing them that I had asked back in December for my account NOT to be renewed and that they had in fact went ahead and renewed it anyways. I requested that they reimburse me the charge of the domain, hosting, and overdraft. I had wrongly thought that my domain name was processed through them as well.
I received an email from billing@fatnetwork.com saying:
"Your domain is not registered by KAZIX – only hosted
See WHOIS by yourself
The respond you got not from us – from GoDaddy – your domain registrant
( Who is removed )
You never requrested a cancellation from us – blame yourself for over drafting, you should know where your account hosting with
I’ll refund the charge of $44.99 and cancel the 2CO subscription as well as your account with KAZIX– that’s all I can do for you"
I wasn't really expecting them to reimburse my overdraft charges ( really, why should they pay for their mistake that harms others? ). And I fully admit that I did honestly forget that my domain name was registered by my husband and not by Kazix. What did surprise me was the tone of the email. I did use the Kazix's contact form on their website to request that my hosting be stopped. Why would I contact Go-Daddy if I had completely forgot that they were the ones in charge of my domain? If I hadn't contacted Kazix, why did Mark send me an email from fatnetwork in response to my request to cancel my account? Yeah. Someone was just being rude and snippy because they didn't want to admit that they made a mistake.
I sent a reply back to the rude man and informed him that I found his email to be very rude and not a good way to handle customers. I also informed him that I did use the contact page on Kazix's website and that I fully knew who my hosting was through.
I received this email as a reply:
"I’m sure you have some other things to do Saturday night – not only be rude
I’ve responded you( from home, because billing is working only Mon-Fri )
I’ve refunded your charge immediately
I’m very glad you are not our customer anymore
Have a great weekend
Jacob
Billing Department"
Me and my husband were both floored when we read this. Who would handle customer support this way? I couldn't believe that he would have the gall to call me rude just for me pointing out his own rudeness. Then of course there is the nice touch of "I'm very glad you are not our customer anymore." Could you imagine someone in retail or any other face-to-face business practice saying this to you?
You know I didn't leave Kazix because I found it to be "bad." I just left it because of my own financial reasons. I had some technical problems with them before and found them to be helpful. If I hadn't experienced all of this, I probably would have recommended them to others and used them again. Now? I seem them as a shady group of characters who care more about their customer's money than they do about their actual customers.
As I see it now, they obviously did not want me to cancel my hosting with them and obviously wanted to renew my account for the money. What about my say in not wanting their services anymore and wanting to keep what little money I had left in my checking account? It didn't matter.
Stay away from Kazix and Fatnetwork. Let my bad experiences be your warning.

Let's say I have a VPS with 512 MBs of RAM.
How do I check in shell that this is indeed the case?
I read in some places that "top" and "free -m" and such can help.
But these gave me way more than 512.
Here is the output from my "free -m". Total shows here 3886 MBs of MEM??? That is almost 4 Gigs. Please someone explain this.

I'm running CSF on a Cpanel server and have questions about new features in CSF
Apache Check
Check Apache weak SSL/TLS Ciphers (SSLCipherSuite)
Results
Cipher list []. Due to weaknesses in the SSLv2 cipher you should disable SSLv2 in WHM > Apache Configuration > Global Configuration > SSLCipherSuite > Add -SSLv2 to SSLCipherSuite and/or remove +SSLv2. Do not forget to Save AND then Rebuild Configuration and Restart Apache, otherwise the changes will not take effect in httpd.conf
Can someone explain this in laymen terms? I know this is new in Cpanel. I'm already running Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.9 with suPHP enabled and mod_security as well (these rules: [url]
Also, what exactly are these CSF checks?
Check csf PT_SKIP_HTTP option
This option disables checking of processes running under apache and can limit false-positives but may then miss running exploits
Check csf SAFECHAINUPDATE option
This option closes a window of opportunity that opens when dynamic chain updates occur

I recently added ubl.unsubscore.com to my email server. I only have that one and the SpamHaus (Zen) activated.
I am able to see the SpamHaus listed on DNSStuff and on SpamHaus website that the person trying to email me is not listed.
So I have to think that it is ubl.unsubscore.com list. But what domain name can I enter into the browser to check this list? www.unsubscore.com does not work. A little searching led me to lashback, but the IP is not listed there either.

Few days ago I had a problem with my httpd. I finally nailed it down and came on a conclusion that my MaxClients were set too low so I had to set it to high number and it seems like that the proble of "Network Timeout" had been resolved but now the problem is still continued. Here is what I think is wrong
Cpu(s): 1.5%us, 0.4%sy, 0.0%ni, 96.7%id, 0.3%wa, 0.3%hi, 0.8%si, 0.0%st
The 96.7%id always stays above 90% is that bad and how do i fix it?

I have a problem where mysqld is using 95 - 97% CPU usage all the time.
How can I see what user is causing this ? I have installed mytop but when I use it I get
Quote:
[root@server1 ~]# mytop
Cannot connect to MySQL server. Please check the:
* database you specified "test" (default is "test")
* username you specified "root" (default is "root")
* password you specified "" (default is "")
* hostname you specified "localhost" (default is "localhost")
* port you specified "3306" (default is 3306)
* socket you specified "" (default is "")
The options my be specified on the command-line or in a ~/.mytop
config file. See the manual (perldoc mytop) for details.
Here's the exact error from DBI. It might help you debug:
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I really need to track down the culprit!

Checking `lkm'... You have 103 process hidden for readdir command

how serious the implications are of those lines? And should I expect this on a machine that has no traffic and is a fresh install?
